From the Foundation for the Marketplace of Ideas<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The most noteworthy battlefield upon which livelihoods and personal relationships are savaged by the arbiters of political correctness is the World Wide Web, and doxing is the nuclear bomb within the arsenal of soft tyrants.  Unlike yesteryear in which derogatory newspaper articles and editorials are soon forgotten and buried within the annals of time, the Internet is forever and a Google search of one\u2019s name republishes the offensive material anew to interested third-parties.<\/p>\n

Doxing is defined by Wikipedia<\/a> as \u201cthe Internet-based practice of researching and broadcasting private or identifiable information (especially personally identifiable information) about an individual or organization.\u201d  When a person or organization \u201cdoxes\u201d their victim, it is often done with malicious scienter<\/em> for the purpose of intimidation and to foment societal ostracism against the target.<\/p>\n

The leftist Southern Poverty Law Center is known for engaging in soft despotic acts against American political dissidents of a right-wing and nationalistic political persuasion.  Mark Potok, who is the editor-in-chief of the SPLC\u2019s Intelligence Report<\/em><\/a>, did an interview with a journalist in 2015<\/a> in which he admits that through the publications of the SPLC, they target organizations that and people who have \u201cnothing to do with criminality or violence[.] * * * It\u2019s strictly about ideology.\u201d  Further, Potok notes, \u201cThe cost of being outed as a member of these groups, which happens increasingly often these days, is very high.  People lose their jobs, their spouses, their families, and so on.\u201d  What a \u201cclass enemy\u201d was to Lenin and Stalin, a \u201chater\u201d is to Potok\u2019s SPLC.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Alt-Right<\/a> and its activists\u2014except for a few of its philosophical leaders\u2014, operate mostly through anonymity on the Internet.  Leftists, however, enjoy outing them so as to stifle the momentum of their movement.  People who are doxed can take a number of actions to inoculate themselves from the problems that could arise.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that the repercussions for doxing are often made far worse by its victims who take voluntary, self-deprecating actions in response to it by (1) needlessly quitting their jobs, (2) apologizing, or (3) making the severity or duration of the doxing episode worse by engaging the doxers.<\/p>\n

Firstly, when one is doxed, one should set their social media accounts\u2014Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc\u2014to private so as to restrict the amount of information that subsequent doxers can obtain to use for purposes of additional harassment.  When Amanda Carpenter was named as a possible mistress of Ted Cruz<\/a>, Carpenter did not immediately restrict access to her Instagram page and subsequent doxers found a photograph of Carpenter sitting on a hotel bed with condoms apparently next to her<\/a>\u2014which only fueled the controversy.  Oops.<\/p>\n

Secondly, one should document everything\u2014save any and all emails, letters, voicemails, and documents that are received, take screenshots of all online postings, and create a journal in which \u201cwho-what-where-when-how\u201d is thoroughly documented.  This can be useful for purposes of seeking a personal protection order, contacting the police to request criminal prosecution, or filing one or more lawsuits\u2014especially since evidence can be lost and memories fade with the passage of time.<\/p>\n

Thirdly, do not take any action by quitting one\u2019s job or responding to the online harassment.  If an employer terminates a victim of doxing, the victim may have a cause of action for tortious interference, in addition to claims for defamation or invasion of privacy that could be raised against their tormentors<\/a>.  If one\u2019s employer is a government actor and termination\u2014rather than resignation\u2014occurs, a 42 U.S.C. \u00a7 1983 civil action may possibly be brought against the employer.  By not responding online, party admissions<\/a> that could derail a civil action will not be made, and the severity and duration of the doxing will subside sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

Fourthly, do not apologize or renounce one\u2019s political views.  If one does so, then an argument can be made that the societal ostracism engaged in by the doxers is justified and the apology can be used to evince that the doxed individual engaged in wrongdoing worthy of adverse actions.  Further, one will lose any allies that one may have had by condemning their own cause, and this will result in one becoming a political leper:  the Left and Alt-Right alike hate traitors.  Jack \u201cSouthern Avenger\u201d Hunter (Counter-Currents Publishing<\/a><\/em>, Occidental Dissent\u2019s first article<\/a><\/em>, Occidental Dissent\u2019s second article<\/a><\/em>, and Breitbart<\/a><\/em>) is a prime example.  Another is Taylor Somers<\/a>.  Additionally, there are psychological<\/a> and legal<\/a> benefits for not apologizing.<\/p>\n

Fifthly, one should promptly and privately consult with an attorney in their state who practices law in the area of civil litigation.  Alt-Right victims of doxing are encouraged to contact the Foundation for the Marketplace of Ideas, Inc.<\/a>, for a referral or assistance with locating such a lawyer.  FMI has wealthy donors who are very interested in financially supporting lawsuits against social justice warriors who target Alt-Right activists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
